Workshop on UNHCR R Packages

Intro

This workshop can not replace fact-sheet-able certifications like the self-paced R training offered through UNHCR Learn & Connect. Rather than learning R in general terms, the sessions will provide an overview of how R is being used and customized within UNHCR context.

Each of the 12 sessions (presentations & exercise) is organised to last one hour around a specific learning objective.

Hands-on Co-Dev sessions between the training facilitator and the operation country team on practical challenges will take place in the afternoon
